Infrastructure plays an important role in a country's economic development, it is also essential to recover from the financial crisis. The history of developed countries shows that infrastructure contributed a lot in economic development, and maintaining & upgrading infrastructure is also important for running economy smoothly. In developing countries, the quality of infrastructure and its service helps to reduce the production cost, increase the quality of personal life and gain the international competitiveness. India is the third largest country in Asia, it has developed rapidly in the recent years and became more attractive to foreign investment. Since its economic reforms in 1991, The Indian government has been committed to the development of infrastructure and encouraged private sector and foreign direct investment's participation, especially in the recent ten years. Recognizing that the lags of infrastructure development became the bottleneck of its economic growth, the Indian government increased the strength of infrastructure development by more policy and fiscal support. This paper briefly introduces the infrastructure development situation in India and attempts to analyze from infrastructure perspective the advantages and challenges that India has to sustain its economic growth. This research also compares China's rapid economic growth and infrastructure development contribution to it. In examining the successful experience that China has, and problems exposed in its infrastructure development the consequence by performing the massive stimulus financial package in 2008 points out that infrastructure development has positive impact on economic growth, and can directly contribute to the growth. There are limitations to the extent to which infrastructure development can contribute to long term economic stability.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 90-91).
The Department of Defense has issued a mandate aimed at improving its capabilities in determining the location, value, quantity, and condition of government assets. The mandate requires marking specified assemblies and components with a unique identifier using two-dimensional data matrix technology. Item Unique Identification (IUID), comprised of data matrix technology and the Unique Item Identifier (UII) data construct, was chosen to create a global standard for identification and because it showed promise in providing lifetime tracking of assets. Currently, Raytheon's implementation strategy to address the mandate has focused solely on compliance and does not aim to extract value from the IUID mandate or the UII construct. However there are many potential benefits of these capabilities. This thesis attempts to identify potential usage scenarios, determine if they are a worthwhile investment, and develop a more deliberate IUID strategy for Raytheon as a corporation within the context of the existing tracking and information landscape. It was determined that company wide pre-tax net savings of $10.6 ( 5.4) Million annually are possible from leveraging IUID technology in repair operations alone.
(cont.) This study recommends a pilot program and if successful, to continue to leverage IUID in those repair programs with: more than 500 units processed annually, more than five workstations, and an IUID requirement in place. This study also recommends that Raytheon should not mark above contractual requirements but should encourage customers to implement IUID marking for high volume programs. This study led to additional recommendations for operations strategy at Raytheon. Automated rather than manual (keystrokes) data entry should be promoted in all operations; specifically in high volume applications. Raytheon should also make a practice of purchasing scanners that detect both bar codes and data matrices for all operations. Finally, the UII construct should be adopted in company wide operations independent of which technology (bar code, 2D Matrix, or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)) is used to read or deliver it.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In South African schools teachers are currently being expected to make major changes in the way they understand teaching and learning in the process of adapting to an entirely new curriculum like Curriculum 2005 or Outcomes Based Education (Engelbrecht, Green, Naicker & Engelbrecht, 1999:70). Research asked the question about what the needs of teachers are towards support to facilitate the implementation of inclusive education in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. A case study was conducted, the purpose being to inform support programmes for teachers. The target population included a selected primary school, the Mutondo Primary School in the Vuwani Area of the Limpopo Province. Participants included 20 voluntary teachers. A literature review was undertaken on the implementation of inclusive education in South Africa. It indicated that teachers showed negative and positive attitudes towards inclusive education in schools. It also showed that that teachers needed support to facilitate positive change in their attitudes toward inclusion in South Africa. Engelbrecht, Green, Naicker and Engelbrecht (1999:157) also emphasised that support was crucial for teachers as they felt that they did not have enough training in order to meet many challenges they come across. The aims of the study was to identify the need for a support programme towards inclusive education for teachers in the Vuwani Area of the Limpopo Province, to provide information to teachers on the implementation of inclusive education and to evaluate the needs for a support programme on the implementation of inclusive education in this area. Information was gathered at the hand of workshops with focus group interviews. The main themes that emerged from the data was the number of learners in a class, resources, the need for in-service training, a culture of respect and acceptance and a flexible curriculum. Findings suggested that a support programme could implement the policy of inclusive education more effectively when teachers' needs for training and support were being met.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In Suid-Afrika word dit tans van onderwysers verwag om groot veranderinge aan te bring in die wyse waarop hulle onderrig en leer om sodoende te kan aanpas by 'n nuwe kurrikulum soos Kurrikulum 2005 of Uitkomsgebasseerde Onderwys (Engelbrecht, Green, Naicker & Engelbrecht, 1999:70). Hierdie stuk navorsing vra die vraag oor die behoeftes van onderwysers ten opsigte ondersteuning om die implimentering van inklusiewe onderwys binne die Limpopo Provinsie van Suid-Afrika te fasiliteer. 'n Gevallestudie is onderneem met as doelom inligting te verskaf ten opsigte van 'n ondersteuningsprogram vir onderwysers. Die teikenbevolking het ingesluit 'n geselekteerde primêre skool in die Vuwani gebied van die Limpopo Provinsie, naamlik die Mutondo Primêre Skool. Deelnemers het 20 vrywillige onderwysers ingesluit. 'n Literatuurstudie is onderneem oor die implimentering van inklusiewe onderwys binne Suid-Afrika. Dit het getoon dat onderwysers beide positiewe en negatiewe houdings openbaar teenoor inklusiewe onderwys binne skole. Dit het verder aangetoon dat onderwysers ondersteuning benodig ten opsigte van die fasilitering van positiewe veranderings in hul houdings jeens inklusiewe onderwys in Suid-Afrika. Engelbrecht, Green, Naicker en Engelbrecht (1999: 157) beklemtoon dat ondersteuning uiters belangrik is vir onderwysers aangesien hulle voel dat hulle nie genoegsame opleiding het om nuwe uitdagings aan te spreek nie. Doelwitte binne hierdie studie het ingesluit die identifisering van die behoefte aan 'n ondersteuningsprogram vir onderwysers binne die Vuwani area van die Limpopo Provinsie, die deurgee van inligting aan onderwysers rakende inklusiewe onderwys en die evaluering van behoeftes vir 'n ondersteuningsprogram rakende die implimentering van inklusiewe onderwys in hierdie gebied. Data is ingesamel aan die hand van werkswinkels met fokusgroeponderhoude. Die hooftemas wat uit die navorsing na vore getree het, was die aantalleerders binne klasse, hulpmiddele, die behoefte van indiensopleiding, 'n kultuur van respek en aanvaarding en laastens 'n buigsame kurrikulum. In kort is bevind dat 'n ondersteuningsprogram die implimentering van inklusiewe onderwys kan vergemaklik.

In winter, Greenland's coastline adjacent to the subpolar North Atlantic and Nordic Seas is characterized by a large land-sea temperature contrast. Therefore, winds across the coast advect air across a horizontal temperature gradient and can result in significant surface heat fluxes both over the ice sheet (during onshore winds) and over the ocean (during offshore winds). Despite their importance, these winds have not been investigated in detail, and this thesis includes the first comprehensive study of their characteristics, dynamics and impacts. Using an atmospheric reanalysis, observations from local weather stations, and remote sensing data, it is suggested that high-speed wind events across the coast are triggered by the superposition of an upper level potential vorticity anomaly on a stationary topographic Rossby wave over Greenland, and that they intensify through baroclinic instability. Onshore winds across Greenland's coast can result in increased melting, and offshore winds drive large heat losses over major ocean convection sites. Strong offshore winds across the southeast coast are unique over Greenland, because the flow is funneled from the vast ice sheet inland into the narrow valley of Ammassalik at the coast, where it can reach hurricane intensity. In this region, the cold air, which formed over the northern ice sheet, is suddenly released during intense downslope wind events and spills over the Irminger Sea where the cold and strong winds can drive heat fluxes of up to 1000 W m-2, with potential implications for deep water formation. Moreover, the winds advect sea ice away from the coast and out of a major glacial fjord. Simulations of these wind events in Ammassalik with the atmospheric Weather Research and Forecast Model show that mountain wave dynamics contribute to the acceleration of the downslope flow. In order to capture these dynamics, a high model resolution with a detailed topography is needed. The effects of using a different resolution locally in the valley extend far downstream over the Irminger Sea, which has implications for the evolution and distribution of the heat fluxes.

As Amazon continues to experience a rapid growth in its e-commerce business, fulfillment efficiency needs to through safe implementation of advanced technology to create a better customer experience. Amazon has heavily invested in automating its outbound product sortation process that merges picked items but has yet to develop automation for multi-item packing. Individual item manipulation has been proven very challenging to automate due to the over 500 million unique products offered. This thesis proposes a container manipulation solution that integrates industrial robotics and other equipment with upstream sortation technology to automate the packing process. A physical prototype was built to test the concept and measure proficiency in critical quality metrics such as item accuracy, product damage, and packing density/orientation. Additionally, an operational simulation for the system was developed to determine the optimal capacity sizing for the integrated sortation and packing system. Lastly, sensitivity analysis on a financial model was performed to optimize for the net present value (NPV) and payback period. After a series of controlled experiments and process improvements, the prototype produced promising results, given the rudimentary nature of the prototype. The system generated item accuracy defects at 2%, product damage defects at 2% and packing orientation defects at 17%. While these results are not adequate to be used in live operation, a development path to acceptable performance appears attainable. Furthermore, implementation of the technology would generate approximately and $100M in NPV across the global fulfillment network.

Full textThe report is based on both a survey and a literature study. The purpose is to highlight the reasons why girls and women exclude technology as such and, in particular, why they opt it out in the upper secondary school selection process. What do the female students consider to be the main reasons affecting them in their selection and discontinuation of the technology programs? This study searches for the pupil perspective of upper secondary school students. This gives a deviating result as opposed to studies that are conducted with pupiles in lower grades. The survey was conducted at a major secondary school in one of Sweden's metropolitan regions. The method of the survey was interviews and a web questionnaire addressing female students on the technology program and the science program as well as teachers who teach them both. The study shows that the existence of the softer specializations of the technology program (such as design and production development), open-houses and the parents' opinion weighed heavily in their decision process. In close collaboration with the literature, these areas joined up to some conciliatory related fields. Hierarchical structures in cultural codes for the various programs were prominent. The interpretation of the term technical interest was also crucial as well as substantial factors in upper level lower secondary school technical education. Even the parents' direct –as well as indirect opinions are important. The survey shows that parents' education and their existing career choices have strong connection with female students' choices for their future education. Conclusion could be made that possible ways to avoid segregated upper secondary school program choices could include setting up an increased number of "soft" specializations in the technology program, active work to attract female students during technology programs’ open-houses and speeding up change of the technology program cultural codes by, among other things, emphasizing the importance of both established and new female role-models in the technology world.

Sea ice thickness has long been an under-measured quantity, even in the satellite era. The snow surface elevation, which is far easier to measure, cannot be directly converted into sea ice thickness estimates without knowledge or assumption of what proportion of the snow surface consists of snow and ice. We do not fully understand how snow is distributed upon sea ice, in particular around areas with surface deformation. Here, we show that deep learning methods can be used to directly predict snow depth, as well as sea ice thickness, from measurements of surface topography obtained from laser altimetry. We also show that snow surfaces can be texturally distinguished, and that texturally-similar segments have similar snow depths. This can be used to predict snow depth at both local (sub-kilometer) and satellite (25 km) scales with much lower error and bias, and with greater ability to distinguish inter-annual and regional variability than current methods using linear regressions. We find that sea ice thickness can be estimated to <20% error at the kilometer scale. The success of deep learning methods to predict snow depth and sea ice thickness suggests that such methods may be also applied to temporally/spatially larger datasets like ICESat-2.

Full textSammanfattning Syfte Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka motivationen till idrott och hälsa hos elever från yrkesförberedande program som ofta inte är aktivt deltagande. Studiens frågeställning är: Hur beskriver eleverna sin motivation till idrott och hälsa? Vad motiverar eleverna att delta eller inte delta i idrott och hälsa? Metod En kvalitativ intervjumetod användes i studien med elva deltagare vilka är elever endast från yrkesförberedande program som inte fullkomligt deltar på lektionerna i idrott och hälsa. Det teoretiska ramverket, vilket innehåller inre motivation och yttre motivation, är baserat på Maslows hierarki av behov, och det sociokulturella perspektivet på motivationen. Resultat Resultaten indikerar att eleverna kan vara delvis eller helt deltagande på idrott och hälsa lektionerna även om de har låg och bristande motivation till ämnet. Eleverna anser att idrott och hälsa är ett viktigt ämne, men har ändå låg och bristande motivation, vilket är skapad på grund av att miljön runt eleverna påverkar deras sinnen negativt. De flesta av eleverna har positiv inställning till ämnet i sig men utifrån deras nuvarande kontext så är inställningen negativ. Närvaro och deltagande visar inte tydligt elevernas inre motivation eftersom orsaken till deras deltagande är grundat på bara att bli godkända. Slutsats Enligt det teoretiska ramverket beror bristande motivation på att individernas olika behov inte blir uppnådda. Det sker ingen positiv interaktion inom klassen som kan bidra till ökad motivation. Social klass och samhällets kultur påverkar också elevernas motivation. Klasskamrater och lärare har en stor påverkan på elevernas motivation, vilket kan vara antingen positivt eller negativt. Dessa faktorer är dock negativa enligt studiens tolkning. Med andra ord, det finns inte tillräckligt med positiv inflytelse till att den yttre motivationen skulle kunna bidra till förändring i beteende via inre motivation.

In this thesis, the effects of sea ice, downwelling favorable winds and barotropic background currents on shelf fronts are examined using numerical models. The models are configured with the characteristics of the East Greenland Current, north of the Denmark Strait, in mind. While the models are heavily idealized, basic physical parameters match the observed ocean. The first part of the thesis uses a three dimensional, primitive equation model to examine the behavior of a shelf front under steady, along shelf winds and barotropic currents. The wind stress generates shoreward surface Ekman transport and the barotropic current generates an offshore bottom Ekman transport. In both cases, the Ekman transport causes the creation of mixed layers and a relationship describing the mixed layer thickness is derived relating the cross shelf flux of density to the along shelf flux of density. When there is a barotropic inflow, the cross shelf Ekman mass transport is balanced by a return flow of mass in the interior. When there is a wind stress, in the present model configuration, the influence of the offshore boundary obscures the effect of the Ekman layers. The second part of the thesis focuses on the ice-ocean interaction using a simple, two layer, one dimensional toy model. The interaction of sea-ice, geostrophic currents, and wind are examined. In the presence of a current and the absence of wind, the ice is transported downstream with the current. In the presence of wind and the absence of a current, the net ice-ocean transport is perpendicular to the wind, as is expected for Ekman layer theory. The two layer system acts like a poorly resolved Ekman spiral: the ice has down wind and shoreward transport while the ocean has up wind and shoreward transport.

Full textBackground: The number of unvaccinated children is increasing and approximately 134 200 people die each year from a disease that can be prevented with the help of the developed vaccination programs. The majority of the deaths are children under five. UNICEF and WHO is committed to give every child in the world the right to full protection against the six most common childhood illnesses. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe why some parents choose not to vaccinate their children. The aim was also to review what data collection methods that was used in the included articles. Method: The present literary study was of a descriptive design where 12 pieces of scientific papers had been reviewed. The including articles had either a quantitative, a qualitative or mixed approach. Main result: Parents had different reasons why they chose not to vaccinate their children. Factors found to influence parents in their choice to vaccinate their children or not was a lack of information, the vaccine was considered unnatural and dangerous for the child's immune system, the parents felt that they could protect the baby from being infected by the disease, the side effects that could occur and the impact of the internet, family and friends. The studies had different approaches to data collection. They were either surveys, interviews or data collected from medical journals. Conclusion: It is important that health care personnel is aware of the various factors that influence parents vaccine choices to provide a personalized information by the parents knowledge and position on vaccinations.

Full textThe construction industry suffers, due it´s dynamic work environment and intricate operations, from difficult information and communication problems. To solve these problems Veidekke incorporates the use of virtual design and construction (VDC) in its projects. VDC is a project method that applies the use of several different information and communication technologies and has proven to be profitable during the design phase. The use of VDC in the design phase assembles the decision-authorized parties in an interactive room where information can be shared quickly and effectively by utilizing visualization technology. VDC, however, lacks similar work processes for the construction phase of the project which still applies traditional information and communication principles. Through cooperation with Veidekke, an ICT-program was implemented in order to study its effect on the current information and communication problems. Observations and interviews were conducted in order to analyze the programs usability, user-friendliness and the conditions of implementation. The development of cloud computing services has revolutionized the possibilities to store and manage information. By utilizing the advantages of cloud services several ICT programs, such as BIM 360 Field, have been designed to address the information and communication problems of the construction industry. The programs create virtual forums wherein immense amounts of information can be stored, managed accessed by mobile units such as laptop computers, table pc and cellular phones. BIM 360 Field offers a range of different functions with high usability but should be adjusted to the Swedish construction industry in order to increase user-friendliness. In order for the program to be profitable it needs be fully implemented so that all construction parties are involved. Before new ICT can be introduced into a notoriously tech-conservative industry like construction, a well design implementation strategy needs to be established. The strategy should entail exactly which information and communication problems need to be addressed, what possibilities are available as well as how existing work processes and organizations need be conformed in order to maximize usability. The strategy should also contain an education and development plan.

Full textSyftet med studien var att undersöka vilka effekter ett specifikt laginterventionsprogram hade på spelarnas upplevelse av sina roller och lagets uppgiftsinriktade lagsammanhållning. Vidare var syftet att undersöka de fördelar som kommer med att ha en klar roll och vilka strategier som används för att skapa rollklarhet. Studien var en interventionsstudie med experimentell design med ett mixat tillvägagångssätt. Deltagare I studien var två juniorishockeylag; ett experimentlag (n=14) och ett kontrollag (n=16). Interventionen pågick under tävlingssäsong och baserades på communikationsträning, ömsesidigt utbyte och rollteori. Resultatet visade att rollklarheten minskade under interventionstiden. Spelarna i interventionslaget upplevde sig sifnifikant mer uppskattade än spelarna i kontrollaget. Överlag hade interventionslaget mer positiva trender i fler variabler än kontrollaget. Upplevda fördelar med klara roller var bra samarbete, kommunikation, självförtroende och beslutsamhet. Föreslagna strategier för utvecklande av rollklarhet var att kommunisera med lagkamrater och tränare, träna och anpassa sig till laget. Positiva effekter av interventionen var förbättrad kommunikation, positiv attityd, självförtroende, lugn, lagsammanhållning och öppenhet.

Seasonal fluxes of meltwater control ice-flow processes across the Greenland Ice Sheet ablation zone and subglacial discharge at marine-terminating outlet glaciers. With the increase in annual ice sheet meltwater production observed over recent decades and predicted into future decades, understanding mechanisms driving the hourly to decadal impact of meltwater on ice flow is critical for predicting Greenland Ice Sheet dynamic mass loss. This thesis investigates a wide range of meltwater-driven processes using empirical and theoretical methods for a region of the western margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet. I begin with an examination of the seasonal and annual ice flow record for the region using in situ observations of ice flow from a network of Global Positioning System (GPS) stations. Annual velocities decrease over the seven-year time-series at a rate consistent with the negative trend in annual velocities observed in neighboring regions. Using observations from the same GPS network, I next determine the trigger mechanism for rapid drainage of a supraglacial lake. In three consecutive years, I find precursory basal slip and uplift in the lake basin generates tensile stresses that promote hydrofracture beneath the lake. As these precursors are likely associated with the introduction of meltwater to the bed through neighboring moulin systems, our results imply that lakes may be less able to drain in the less crevassed, interior regions of the ice sheet. Expanding spatial scales to the full ablation zone, I then use a numerical model of subglacial hydrology to test whether model-derived effective pressures exhibit the theorized inverse relationship with melt-season ice sheet surface velocities. Finally, I pair near-ice fjord hydrographic observations with modeled and observed subglacial discharge for the Saqqardliup sermia-Sarqardleq Fjord system. I find evidence of two types of glacially modified waters whose distinct properties and locations in the fjord align with subglacial discharge from two prominent subcatchments beneath Saqqardliup sermia. Continued observational and theoretical work reaching across discipline boundaries is required to further narrow our gap in understanding the forcing mechanisms and magnitude of Greenland Ice Sheet dynamic mass loss.

One of the biggest opportunities for this consumer goods company today is reducing retail stockouts at its Direct Store Delivery (DSD) customers via pre-selling, which represents approximately 70% of the company's total sales volume. But reducing retail stock-outs is becoming constantly more challenging with an ever-burgeoning number of SKUs due to new product introductions and packaging innovations. The main tool this consumer goods company uses to combat retail stock-outs is the pre-sell handheld, which the company provides to all field sales reps. The handheld runs proprietary software developed by this consumer goods company that creates suggested orders based on a number of factors including: * Baseline forecast (specific to store-item combination) * Seasonality effects (i.e., higher demand for products during particular seasons) * Promotional effects (i.e., lift created from sale prices) * Presence of in-store displays (i.e., more space for product than just shelf space) * Weekday effects (i.e., selling more on weekends when most people shop) * Holiday effects (i.e., higher demand for products at holidays) * Inventory levels on the shelves and in the back room * In-transit orders (i.e., orders that may already be on their way to the customer) The more accurate that the suggested orders are, the fewer retail stock-outs will occur. This project seeks to increase the accuracy of the consumer demand forecast, and ultimately the suggested orders, by improving the baseline forecast and accounting for the effect of cannibalization on demand.

Global warming has led to a significant increase in Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) melt and runoff since 1990, resulting in escalated export of fresh water and associated sediment to the surrounding North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Similar to alpine glacial systems, surface meltwater on ice sheet surface drains to the base (subglacial) where it joins a drainage system and can become chemically enriched from its origin as dilute snow- and ice-melt. In this thesis, I examine the interdependence of glacial hydrology and biogeochemical cycling in terms of export of carbon and iron from the Greenland ice sheet. I develop a new isotope mixing-model to quantify water source contributions to the bulk meltwater discharge draining a GrIS outlet glacier. Results illustrate (a) the new application of a naturally occurring radioisotope (radon-222) as a quantitative tracer for waters stored at the glacier bed, and (b) the seasonal evolution of the subglacial drainage network from a delayed-flow to a quick-flow system. Model results also provide the necessary hydrological context to interpret and quantify glacially-derived organic carbon and iron fluxes. I combine bulk- and molecular-level studies of subglacial organic carbon to show that GrIS discharge exports old (radiocarbon depleted), labile organic matter. Similar investigations of dissolved and particulate iron reveal that GrIS discharge may be a significant flux of labile iron to the North Atlantic Ocean during the summer meltseason. Both carbon and iron are subject to proglacial processing prior to export to the marine environment, and exhibit strong seasonal variability in correlation with the subglacial drainage evolution. Low, chemically concentrated fluxes characterize the spring discharge, whereas higher, chemically dilute fluxes typify the summer discharge. Collectively, this thesis provides some of the first descriptions and flux estimates of carbon and iron, key elements in ocean biogeochemical cycles, in GrIS meltwater runoff.

O funcionamento diferencial do item ocorre quando um item é aplicado a dois grupos de alunos com mesma habilidade cognitiva e esses grupos obtêm desempenhos diferenciados ao responderem a esse item, levando um grupo a apresentar melhores resultados que o outro. O presente estudo levou em consideração grupos de alunos do sexo feminino e do masculino de diferentes grupos raciais e alunos de regiões distintas dos Estados do Rio de Janeiro e Minas Gerais. Os resultados estatísticos obtidos entre dois grupos de alunos podem demonstrar que um grupo está sendo beneficiado em relação ao outro. A importância de realizar a análise do funcionamento diferencial – DIF– dos itens nos diferentes grupos de alunos se justifica, para que a proficiência estimada seja de boa qualidade, e os resultados possam ser adequadamente equalizados. Pode também apontar uma diferenciação pedagógica entre as regiões escolares, devido a uma maior exposição ao tema ou maior ênfase curricular, diferenças culturais associadas a diferenças sócio-econômicas, ou diagnosticar deficiências pedagógicas existentes. O objetivo da pesquisa é identificar e analisar os itens de Língua Portuguesa, especificamente das 3ª, 4a e 5ª séries do Ensino Fundamental, referentes aos testes aplicados em 2005 pelo Programa Nova Escola e pelo Simave/Proeb, que apresentaram funcionamento diferencial, segundo sua dificuldade, para alunos de diferentes regiões e com diferenças de gênero e raça, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro e Minas Gerais. Inicialmente, apresentou-se uma revisão histórica da avaliação em larga escala no Brasil e dos principais programas de avaliação executados nos Estados; sem pretensão de esgotar o assunto, alguns métodos de medidas em avaliação educacional em larga escala e a construção da escala de habilidades foram descritos. A seguir, procurou-se descrever o Funcionamento Diferencial do Item – DIF, os principais métodos para sua detecção e sua evolução histórica. Posteriormente, identificou-se o Funcionamento Diferencial-DIF em itens do Programa Nova Escola e do Simave/Proeb, foram classificados os encontrados e que geraram hipóteses para explicar o DIF. No presente estudo constatou-se que nem todos os itens diagnosticados com DIF são ruins para efeito de avaliação, pois eles podem trazer informações importantes para diagnóstico do sistema educacional do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e de Minas Gerais; por intermédio deles, podem-se diagnosticar as deficiências curriculares, indícios de discriminações raciais ou diversidades culturais. Assim, nem sempre o procedimento mais adequado é a sua retirada dos testes.
The operation of the item gap occurs when an item is applied to two groups of students with cognitive ability and these same groups get different performances to respond to that item, leading a group to produce better results than the other. This study took into account groups of students were female and male from different racial groups and students from different regions of the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. The statistical results obtained between two groups of students can demonstrate that a group is being received in relation to the other. The importance of conducting an analysis of the functioning differential - DIF-of items in different groups of students is justified, so that the estimated proficiency is of good quality, and results can be adequately equalizados. It may also indicate a differentiation between the regions educational school, due to greater exposure to the subject or greater emphasis curriculum, cultural differences associated with socio-economic differences, or diagnose existing educational deficiencies. The objective of the survey is to identify and analyse the items of Portuguese Language, specifically the 3, 4th and 5 th series of elementary school, regarding the tests applied in 2005 by the New School Program and the Simave / Proeb, which showed differential operation, according to their difficulty For students from different regions and with differences in gender and race in the state of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. Initially, presented to a review of historical assessment on a large scale in Brazil and the core program implemented in the evaluation; without pretension to exhaust the subject, some methods of measures in educational evaluation on a large scale and the scale of construction skills were described . Then, sought to describe the operation Differential Item - DIF, the main methods for its detection and its historical development. Subsequently, identified as the Operation Differential-DIF items in the Programme and the New School Simave / Proeb, were classified and that those found generated hypotheses to explain the DIF. In this study it was found that not all items are diagnosed with DIF bad for the purpose of evaluation, because they can provide important information for diagnosis of the educational system of the State of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, through them, you can diagnose learning disabilities, evidence of racial discrimination or cultural diversity. So, not always the most appropriate procedure is the withdrawal of its tests.

Full textThe National Qali Warma School Feeding Program is a social program that the Peruvian Government has been implementing through the Ministry of Social Inclusion, since 2012, in order to ensure a balanced supply of quality food for schoolchildren at the initial level. primary school of public educational institutions with poverty levels. As is known, the eradication of hunger is one of the objectives of the millennium and food attention, especially of school children, is considered in most public policies of different countries, to obtain a quality education. Considering the purpose of the program in our country and associating the levels of education reached worldwide, this work aims to know the current development of the program in the Daniel Alcides Carrión educational institution in the hamlet of Mala Vida, in the province of Sechura and make a diagnosis to know the positive and negative aspects and analyze the factors that hinder its optimal implementation. The development of this research work considered applying data collection tools, having as sources of information to diverse actors involved, with the objective of identifying a direct version and knowing the relevance or level of influence of the program factors in the performance of the boys and girls of the population in question. The research has determined relevant aspects for Social Management and has allowed to know more detailed dimensions regarding limiting factors of the environment where the program is executed, such as: Poor infrastructure, lack of access to basic services, lack of good hygiene practices , etc; the same ones that generate disadvantageous conditions for the optimal development of the Qali Warma program and consequently, they make difficult the contribution to the educational improvement, in zones of similar conditions to Mala Vida, where the poverty is extreme and the conditions of survival are very restricted. Thus, with these conditions, alternatives are proposed to improve the implementation of this program, cooperate with its objectives

Full textThis study has focused on obesity prevention efforts in schools in the United States of America. The study was conducted in two states, Oklahoma and New Hampshire. In New Hampshire, the study was focused on more minor efforts which were the "CSHP", HEAL, Early Sprout, FIT, AFHY, 5210, and Kids CATCH Club. In Oklahoma, the focus on the study was on the program It's All About Kids.
Method: Unstructured interviews and observation, analysis from an national policy document. A total of seventeen interviews conducted, seven of them in New Hampshire and ten in Oklahoma. All interviews were recorded in addition to three in Oklahoma that was written by hand. Observations have been silent during lessons in New Hampshire and It's All About Kids.
Result: New Hampshire: efforts demonstrate an effect; however, it is difficult to get all of them to work in conjunction with the school meals serving, parents involvement and to get the school staff to understand the concept of role models. Oklahoma: The program It’s All About Kids is experiencing them that they have an effect. There is no standardized measurement of the impact. The program has created a higher level of consciousness about the importance of good health and mobility. The program has been difficult to establish a contact with parents and create a higher awareness by the school staff.
Conclusion: These programs show an effect, however, showing them a lack of ownership among parents. To engage and involve parents in the school's work and create a higher awareness about role models for school staff and parents would probably give better results.

Full textBakgrund: Antivaccinationsrörelsen har fått medial uppmärksamhet de senaste åren, vilket har aktualiserat debatten huruvida föräldrar ska vaccinera eller inte vaccinera sina barn. Infektioner, vars utbredning tidigare minskat till följd av följsamhet till vaccinationsprogram, har åter fått fäste och det samhällsskydd som följer vaccinationer har minskat. Vaccin är en kostnadseffektiv åtgärd inom hälso- och sjukvården för att förhindra smittspridning och minska mortaliteten på befolkningsnivå. Syfte: Undersöka faktorer som påverkar föräldrars beslut att inte vaccinera sina barn enligt nationella vaccinationsprogram för att öka förståelsen för dessa beslut. Metod: Scoping review baserad på artiklar hämtade ur databaserna PubMed och CINAHL. Innehållsanalys tillämpades för att förstå innehåll och skapa sammanhang. Resultatet baseras på 23 artiklar. Resultat: I resultatet framkom olika skäl till att föräldrar inte vaccinerar sina barn. Rädsla för biverkningar och bristande tillit till sjukvården, myndigheter och vaccin var framträdande orsaker till vaccinvägran. Var föräldrar inhämtade information, hur de definierade hälsa samt kultur och religion var andra faktorer som påverkade beslutet att inte vaccinera. Slutsats: Resultatets primära fynd baseras på någon form av bristande tillit till myndigheter, sjukvården eller vaccin hos föräldrarna. Internet och media som informationskälla har bidragit till felaktiga uppfattningar om och rädsla för vacciners effekt. Sjukvården måste bli bättre på personcentrerad vård och individanpassa information om vaccin.
